(Eric Collins is not quite a poet, that's for sure.) Matt Kemp had the Dodgers' other two RBI with a two-run jack to center that scored James Loney (1-for-4). And when I say "jack", I mean "ball becomes lodged in the centerfield scoreboard of Miller Park":

That is not a renegade pixel.UPDATE: Josh S. tells us that isn't a Matt Kemp HR ball, either! (see the comments)

Ted Lilly went a servicable 6.1 IP (7 H, 3 ER, 1 BB, 2 Ks), and Hong-Chih Kuo survived a shaky ninth inning that involved a single and a comebacker which Kuo airmailed to Kemp (failing to account for the diminutive Jamey Carroll--it's a trap!) to put two on with one out.

Whatever; with Barajas providing production from the catcher's spot, things suddenly look rosier with only 36 left to play (7 GB in the WC, pending outcome of the Philly-Houston game). And, his output saves me from going to some sophomoric "Dodgers Trim Bush" headline. Whoops, I just did!

@DB, are the fans there annoying? ive been to angels stadium, AAA, and A+ and all angels fans are annoying. Example, yelling swing at the opposing batters on every pitch or yelling I got it for every fly ball, no matter how far away.

Of the 125 fans in the stadium, the only annoying ones were my brother and my buddy Jeff. I saw a few people with Angels gear, but very few. This is still Shards country, and thought you can take the Mothership away from the AA team, you can't suddenly generate a lot of fan interest for the new ownership's team.

I'm also confused about something else this morning. I have seen various blogs say that the ball that is stuck in the scoreboard was from Matt's home run, but in the video of the homer, the ball bounces back on the field. Also, there's a video out there about the stuck ball in which the Brewers announcers say someone had some fun and stuck a ball there "near where Kemp hit his home run."
